The morning was dominated by the unmasking of Asaf Shmuelvich, the 'imposter officer' who infiltrated Southern Command war rooms following October 7, and the death of reserve soldier Asael Babad from wounds sustained months prior. However, editorial focus quickly shifted to Davos, where President Trump formally launched the 'Board of Peace.' Media outlets highlighted the exclusion of an official Israeli representative from the stage and Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas regarding total disarmament. By early afternoon, editors prioritized a diplomatic rift: while the Israeli cabinet insisted on the return of Ran Gvili’s remains as a prerequisite for any movement, the technocratic Gaza leadership at Davos announced the imminent reopening of the Rafah crossing. Jared Kushner’s $25 billion 'New Gaza' reconstruction plan also received widespread coverage. In the evening, domestic news pivoted to a dramatic political realignment. Spurred by massive anti-crime protests in Sakhnin, the four Arab-Israeli parties—Ra'am, Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad—announced their reunification into a Joint List, a move framed as a major shift for the opposition bloc.
